Oral Appliance Therapy

What is Oral Application Therapy?

O.A.T. is often a viable alternative to CPAP therapy. A specially designed and adjusted Oral Appliance repositions the jaw and tongue during sleep. The Oral Appliance creates support for the airway that tends to collapse during sleep. It also stiffens the soft palate and can be highly effective therapy for snoring and Sleep Apnea.
